Transparency, clarity, honesty. 100% accuracy. 10 outa 10.

Jennifer McKenna - 100% Has a faithful allegiance to the law, thus full interpretation of the law. Huge complements to the impeccable professional front and back staff. "In your experience will find"... A warm and welcoming..., supportive, environment and immediately sense you are #1. The attention to detail and fact finding is far beyond my expectations, and everything handled legally, and no fighting as my parents wished." ...priceless. Jennifer is extremely focused, and very detailed, an excellent communicator, genuine "fact finder." Uniquely, Jennifer can separate emotion from business, facts from fiction, and understands human behavior systems. Essentially leading to ...100% reassurance and handled the entire legally. Fair and justly. Jennifer is and always will be a "trusted advisor" Ultimately this was so pain free, so flawless, Jennifer and staff raised my sleep score to a 96. (seriously). Forever grateful, Craig

Exceptional Experience!

Jennifer seamlessly guided us through the estate planning process in recent weeks. During our consultation, she carefully listened to our goals and leveraged her years of experience to meet them in our plan. We were put at ease with her commitment to establishing a long term relationship with our f...amily. Her entire team is efficient and demonstrated excellent follow through communication at every point of the process. I value her integrity and professionalism, she is absolutely focused in this legal specialty and that was an important consideration for us when selecting a lawyer. Jennifer is Highly recommended!

Outstanding service, outstanding product

After a change in our family situation, my wife and I decided it was time to update some old estate planning documents but we weren't quite sure how to make sure everything was covered. Jennifer and her staff helped us through every step. They were extremely knowledgeable and professional. The face-...to-face meetings we had were very thorough and detailed. The final product was impressive, something that anyone can use to quickly and easily determine what our wishes are. I am confident we got the very best legal service anyone could get. Estate planning is something everyone needs to do. I would recommend McKenna Family Law to anyone who is serious about getting a comprehensive estate plan.

Extremely knowledgeable and trustworthy

We contacted several different estate planning attorneys before choosing the one we were most comfortable with. Jennifer McKenna was the most knowledgeable and trustworthy. Her interactions with us have always been genuine and we appreciated that we always felt we were in good hands. Jennifer McKenna...'s team is very professional and personable and our estate planning meetings never felt transactional, which was very important to us. We whole heartedly recommend contacting Jennifer McKenna for all of your estate planning needs.

Making Estate planning easy

We had used Jennifer to help us settle our daughter's small estate after her death. Jennifer made a tedious task simple and because of that we sought her out two years later when my wife and I decided that we needed to prepare for our retirement and protect ourselves in the case of one of us needing... intense medical care later in life. Jennifer again made this simple. She helped us navigate this confusing map of Wills and Trusts, explaining everything in an easy-to-understand manner. I found Jennifer to be pragmatic in her approach and while I don't believe our Wills and Trust were complicated, had we tried a product on the internet, I'm sure we would have continued to second guess ourselves. Jennifer has given us the confidence that we are protected in life and our legacy is secure after our deaths. Jennifer's flat-rate billing was also comforting in knowing up front what the costs were, and no additional billing - in fact our daughter's estate was easier than expected and Jennifer promptly refunded excess funds. I think you will find Jennifer honest, practical, knowledgeable, and personable.
